Just one year since the first cannabis product recall hit the adult-use market in Missouri, another round of recalls have been issued. This time a Springfield-based producer is at the heart of the issue.
The Missouri Department of Health and Senior Services issued two recalls between Aug. 6-8 involving hundreds of thousands of individual products, like edibles, vapes, flower and marijuana-infused tinctures. While the products have not been deemed unsafe for human consumption, customers are asked to return recalled products to dispensaries, according to a release from the Missouri Division of Cannabis Regulation (DCR).

At Revival 98, a southwest Springfield dispensary located off of West Republic Road, more than 200 products had to be quarantined, Store Manager Mark Crawford said.
